The credit is exclusive of any monthly base charge, applicable taxes and fees, or other charges. Credits for extra energy are uncapped at the monthly usage from the grid. The credit per kWh for the extra energy you send to the grid will be lower than the kWh energy rate we charge for the electricity plan. It may take up to 3 billing cycles after receiving Permission to Operate (PTO) from your utility to begin receiving credits. To receive bill credits, the customer must have solar panels at the utility service address and an active interconnection agreement with the utility (or TDSP). Customer must have a meter installed and configured by their TDSP that measures the inflow and outflow of electricity to and from their home.

The only circumstance in which your actual price can change is to reflect changes in Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) Delivery Charges, law or regulatory charges allowed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
